About Fort Point Open Studios

Every fall the artists of Fort Point open their studios to the public. Join us for a weekend of art! Explore the historic waterfront warehouses that are home to painters, sculptors, ceramicists, jewelers, performance artists, printmakers, book artists, photographers,
and more. Meet local artists and craftspeople, and get a behind-the-scenes look at where Boston artists create their work. Find established artists and discover new emerging talents. Stroll, ponder, and browse. Buy original art from the people who make it.

Visitors to Open Studios can tour artists’ studios in 4 artist buildings in the Fort Point neighborhood, as well as galleries and pop-up exhibit venues. All buildings are in easy walking distance of each other. Free participatory art-making activities for all
ages will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Performance and special events are also part of this year’s Open Studios.
